result Of annexation would be the re-
moval of the capital to Winnemucca?
May be the papers Of that section are
influenced by both considerations.
One thing is certain-that section
nourlshes IA jealous hatred of Idaho's
capital that is unwarranted, unreas-

Wood River had an uncomfortable
longing for the capital and hoped to
get it until the Legislature two years

making said appropriation. Wood
River saw an imaginary, or mostly
